HP has a villain system but has become a popular character

The fire in the fireplace crackled with burning wood, and in the dim room, a huge black shadow flashed outside the window from time to time.

Severus is now having a private lesson in Professor Flitwick's office, and Vincent Lord is the only one in the dormitory.

He stood in front of the crucible, concentrating on completing the last step of the wolfsbane potion.

Time passed by in the steam rising from the crucible, and finally, the flame under the crucible went out.

Wenxiu Lord held the small bottle of wolfsbane potion in his hand under the candlelight and observed the color of the potion. The potion in the bottle glowed in the candlelight.

"Done! Great! We finally finished brewing it before the full moon!"

The boy put the freshly brewed wolfsbane potion into his pocket, waved his wand to tidy up the messy dormitory, glanced at the time, put the note left for Severus on his bedside table, then put on his robe and left the dormitory.

"Wen Xiu? Are you ready to go out now? It's almost curfew."

Lucius Malfoy put down the quill in his hand and looked up at Wenxiu Lord who walked out of the passage.

The next morning after he sent the letter, Abraxas Malfoy wrote back.

In the reply, his father told him that the adult already knew that Wenxiu Lord was planning to build up his own power in Hogwarts.

He also implicitly expressed his intention to make him befriend Wenxiu Lord.

Lucius Malfoy was a little puzzled. In his opinion, that adult's power was now at its peak and he would definitely lead their Malfoy family to a more powerful future.

When he wrote to ask why, Abraxas Malfoy did not tell him the reason, and his reply contained only one sentence.

'Don't put all your eggs in one basket.'

During the following period, even Ravenclaw, who had never paid much attention to anything other than studying, could clearly notice that in Slytherin House, Lucius Malfoy and Vince Lord, two small groups that had been at loggerheads with each other, were getting along much better.

Many of the Slytherins who decided to follow Vince Lord were half-blood wizards, while Lucius Malfoy's side consisted mostly of pure-blood aristocrats. It could be said that these two groups did not get along well with each other.

Pure-bloods look down on half-bloods. Before Wenxiu Lord entered school, many people would bully half-blood wizards who were alone, and those powerless half-blood wizards who were bullied could only swallow their anger.

It’s not that there haven’t been some very powerful half-blood wizards who took up their wands to resist, but after a while they would receive letters from their families, warning them not to provoke those little wizards of the nobility and not to cause them trouble.

Now that Wenxiu Lord has come, what he said at the opening dinner has helped many half-blood wizards find a better way out. Even many young wizards who have been enduring and working like slaves for pure-bloods have joined Wenxiu Lord's team.

With Wenxiu Lord's support, the two parties would neither give in to the other when they met, and would have verbal conflicts if they disagreed.

As a result, before the two sides could start fighting, the atmosphere between the two leaders became more and more harmonious, leaving people around them a little confused.

As the leaders set an example, the atmosphere between the two sides has become much more relaxed.

Wenxiu Lord put on the hat on his wizard robe, hiding all his silver hair in darkness. "Lucius? I just finished my paper and went to the kitchen to find some dessert."

After making sure that his attire would not reveal his true identity to the portrait, Wenxiu Lord looked at Lucius teasingly, "Why are you the only one in the lounge so late? Where's Narcissa?"

Lucius rubbed his brows. Ever since he entered the fifth grade, Abraxas Malfoy began to gradually delegate family affairs to him. After finishing the papers assigned by the professor every day, he also had to deal with the documents sent by owls.

"Xixi has to write a letter to her family today, so she'll go back to the dormitory first."

Seeing that Lucius was obviously tired, Wenxiu Lord went back to the dormitory, got a bottle of potion and placed it on Lucius's desk.

"Perhaps you will need this potion?" A smile that Lucius found obscene for some reason appeared on his face again. "Perhaps you need Narcissa's comfort more, which will be more useful than this potion. I'll leave first."

Lucius did not respond to the second half of Wenxiu Lord's sentence which was obviously a joke.

He and Narcissa Black did not have much interaction in their daily lives. The reason they were together was just a common marriage between nobles. Lucius and Narcissa Black both knew that this was the responsibility they had to bear because they were born into such a family.

Lucius picked up the potion beside him and drank it in one gulp. "Thank you. Just don't get caught by Filch."

Feeling like he had eaten a candy, Wenxiu Lord was in a good mood and winked at Lucius, "Don't worry, I go out often and I'm already familiar with the route." He stretched out his finger to his lips, "Keep it a secret for me."

Lucius smiled and nodded, watching Vince Lord leave. Almost everyone in Slytherin knew that Vince Lord loved sweets. Even the various expensive gifts sent by the families behind many young wizards eventually turned into expensive gifts plus desserts and candies.

Even the little wizards from other academies who came to give love letters to Wenxiu Lord during this period would bring a bag of desserts or candies, because Wenxiu Lord would not accept love letters, but he would definitely accept desserts and candies.

This directly led to a very serious problem, at least it was very serious in Wenxiu Lord's own opinion: he would not be able to finish his candy.

Fortunately, Lily, Sirius and others successfully helped him share most of the candies. However, after other young wizards saw that Vinciu Lord "accepted everyone", they gave him more candies and snacks.

Now Wenxiu Lord was walking in the corridor with a licorice wand in his mouth.

The characters in the frames on the wall gathered together curiously and looked at Wenxiu Lord, who was wrapped up tightly like a Dementor, passing in front of them, pointing and guessing his identity.

Today was a cloudy day like any other day, and the night was gloomy with clouds covering the moon and stars. If it weren't for the candlelight on the corridor walls, there would be no light at all in the moonlight alone.

Wenxiu Lord took out a small bottle from the system space. Silver threads were flowing in the small glass bottle, which was part of Wenxiu Lord's memory.

This was a fragment of memory from reading a book in his previous life that he had extracted early in the morning. He made it as a backup because he was afraid that his memory would become increasingly blurred.

The tip of the staff guided the silver thread into his mind. According to his memory, Wenxiu Lord opened the passage to the Whomping Willow and went straight in.

After the passage was closed, there was a wave in the air, and the figure of Albus Dumbledore slowly emerged from the wave.

He stood at the entrance of the passage for a long time, and the half-moon-shaped lenses made it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.

Professor McGonagall raised her glowing wand and asked in confusion, "Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore turned around. "It's Minerva."

Professor McGonagall looked at him seriously. "What are you doing standing here? Did you find anything?"

Dumbledore raised his hand and smoothed his big white beard. "Nothing. An old man is old, so he came out to move around. Are you going to patrol the night?"

Professor McGonagall nodded.

A ball of light appeared in front of Dumbledore, "I'm with you."

The passage was very damp and the entrance was not big, so Wenxiu Lord, who was less than 1 meters tall, could just stand up and pass through.

It was cold and gloomy all around, with moss growing on the ground and walls, so it was easy to slip if you weren't careful.

There is not only one road around the passage, there are many forks in the road, and no one knows where it will lead to. However, Wenxiu Lord can only wait until he has time to explore it later.

Fortunately, there was a row of footprints leading the way to his destination, otherwise he might have missed the time tonight.

When Wenxiu Lord walked out of the passage, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have dissipated a lot, and the moonlight faintly shone through the clouds.

Seeing this, Wenxiu Lord quickened his pace and trotted to the vicinity of the Whomping Willow. The Whomping Willow seemed to have fallen asleep, and its thick branches rose and fell as if it was snoring.

Just in case, Wenxiu Lord hit Scar with his magic wand before entering the tree hole with confidence.
